Although this artifact is a short response to our course readings and research, it is the root of many areas of research with which I currently engage. This artifact furthered my research on code-switching, i.e. Spanglish, code-mixing, like dialects, and disglossia—of low and high English colloquial variants—which became the foundation of my research on ELF (English as Lingua Franca) pros, cons, and debate; this research paper also sparked my interest in language justice theory, frameworks, and practices while giving the tools to critically analyze theories of colonialism, standard English(es) and their socio-linguistic effects in this global world.
